Is this bag 100% waterproof? I'll be going on an overnight canoe trip so it might get wet and it's going to have my cell phone, GPS, so cant get wet.

Samantha; If you close the bag as instructed it will maintain a day enviroment for you stuff. If you submerge it in 3 feet of water for a prolonged period I don't know. It works fine on my dive trips it stays on the boat, I don't take it with me in the water.

I would seal in zip locks, just to be safe, because mine did allow a little moisture in. I followed the instructions explicitly, but the fabric itself allowed some water to weep through.

I don't think you can ever say something is 100%, but if you use it the way it is designed it should protect your gear. Also I always take the extra step of putting my iPhone, wallet etc in separate ziplocks as man extra layer of protection.

I just got back from a whitewater canoe trip (3 day / 35 miles) using the Baja Dry Bag and I flipped twice and all my gear floated down river. My bag contained a ton of gopro equipment. Everything was nice and dry each night we made camp. Bag was also floating in about an inch of water in our boat basically the entire trip and still had no issues.

They are, it would probably be okay, but the manufacturer advises against it. You would be just fine if you threw the phone into a Ziploc bag first. They are as tight as the water tight compartments on most kayaks, but of course even those get little droplets and then from time to time depending on your activity level.

Gloria, i didint much care for this bag and did not get to use it in the rain before passing it along. Just didint care for it, but i dont think this bag is water proof and i wouldint trust it to be.

When I tested the bag in my bathroom sink overnight, it was not waterproof. Sorry. I returned it.

I just tested it by pouring a little bit water on it from my kitchen sink. The water flowed across it. Nevertheless, I don't consider this bag waterproof. If water spills on it accidentally, and u wipe it off quick, your laptop will be safe... I think there's vulnerability around the zipper. But I gotta say this: "It is a solid bag". I love mine

No, not if the bag is closed. The whole point is for it to be waterproof, if you have head phones hanging it out water could enter.

No this bag is not waterproof. The seams have a small strip of durable fabric in the stitching for strength and there is a fabric zipper so it isn't waterproof. Because it is mostly vinyl, you could call it "splash resistant" but that's as far as I'd go.

It is not waterproof. If you used it on a kayak or canoe and it got into the water it would be soaked.

We don't think it's waterproof, but it might be water resistant. We've never had it around water as we use it to carry geocache supplies in it and it stays in the car most of the time. I bought this as a gift for my husband and he loves it. He says he would definitely recommend it depending on what you are using it for. It can get heavy depending on what you have in it.

When rolled & cinched correctly, yes, it is completely waterproof...that said, I would HIGHLY recommend adding 1 more layer of protection for very expensive/valuable items, just to be safe. Anything even as simple as 1 of those waterproof bags or boxes you can pick up at Walmart & make sure you test it in your tub or something before using it in case of defects (they happen). We filled the tub & left it submerged overnight w/a towel in it before our rafting trip. This is a GREAT bag!

definitely not waterproof - I did find a dry bag that fits perfectly but haven't had an opportunity to work with it yet. with my health and age it's kind of like a hurricane bug out bag for me. hope this has been some help. good luck.

It is weather/waterproof. It is a very nice travel bag, but on the big and heavy side. I highly recommend it, but buyer beware, the airline tried to charge me excess weight because all together with the car seat it weighs more tha 50 lbs.

It is described as rainproof on both Amazon and ROLA's website. We used it on a camping trip last month and it was raining on the drive there and back. Everything in the ROLA bag was completely dry. It is very heavy duty and well-made. I think it will keep anything dry that's in it. I am very satisfied with this bag.

Don't know if it is waterproof or not, I use it as a travel bag in my suitcase. I am assuming because of the zipper, once that is wet it would probably leak.

Based on my quick test, this bag is only water resistant. I put my hand in one of the pockets and poured water over the bag. After a while the water seemed to seep through, although my hand never got wet I did feel moisture.

It is not waterproof. However, I have had mine in the rain and it is more water resistant than a regular nylon pack. You can get a cheap raincover for it from REI or another outdoors store. I highly recommend this pack. It is great for backpacking and hunting. It is big enough that I usualy bring too much stuff with me, but it carries well.

Yes the outside is waterproof, I've been caught inthe rain numberous occasions, and nothing inside ever got wet. It's a great bag, I love mine, hope this helps.

Yes this item is waterproof! We use it all the time at the beach. We live near the breach do we are always there and would leave home without this water proof bag for our iPhones. Hope this helps!
